My 1981 International 986 is worth its weight in gold. (Well not really as it weighs about 10,000 pounds).

I love this tractor. I had a 4093E and sold it back and lost money. It was always broken down.

I have had the 986 for several years. It has given me no problems except the AC has a small leak. I usually have to recharge it in the spring and sometimes again mid summer. Just check\change fluids when you are supposed to and it will out work me.

PTO is 105 HP and has never not done what I needed it to do. If you can find something like that, and it has been taken care of you should consider it.


I love my country, but don't trust my government.
